About The Position
The WM Recycle Corps intern program is a nine-week internship focused on the latest strategies in engaging residents and businesses in waste reduction and recycling behavior change. The internship is designed to provide a group of responsible college students and recent graduates with experience as recycling educators. This position provides an opportunity to work with communities across the Puget Sound. Interns will be out in the field engaging with local businesses and attending community festivals to educate on recycling right. We are seeking a diverse group of applicants from all backgrounds to best connect with the businesses and residents of this region. WM Recycle Corps interns represent the company on a variety of public outreach projects. Interns will primarily conduct in-person site visits, attend community festivals with a WM booth, complete some remote phone-based outreach to help businesses and apartment complexes with their recycling programs, and tag recycling carts with educational flyers. Additional outreach projects could include writing blogs, social media posting and delivering educational supplies to customers. Professional development is a top priority in the WM Recycle Corps program. WM outreach staff will work one-on-one with interns to understand their career goals and interests, and connect them with professionals in the industry. Interns will build their network through meet and greets with outreach staff from local government agencies and build an understanding of career pathways in the solid waste industry. WM is committed to social and racial equity and cultural responsiveness in our services to clients, our workforce composition and practices, and in our organizational culture. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
